I want to train my lab to be a drug dog for our department. Can you suggest which of your videos would be best to use as well as how to know when I can start training her for searches?

I would recommend that you get the DVD titled “HOW TO RAISE A WORKING PUPPY.” If you go to the link you will be able to read the description of the chapters in the DVD. We have bred over 350 litters of working puppies in the past 30 years and I have been breeding and competing in dog sports at a national level for 20 years. There are differences in the way you raise a puppy as strictly a pet, instead of a working dog. This DVD helps you set the foundation to train your puppy for a career, whether it be competitive obedience, protection, agility, Schutzhund or Search & Rescue.

I would probably also suggest Building Drive and Focus and Training Narcotics Detection Dogs.

We also have a question and answer section on Narcotics dogs.

This should give you a good start.
